How did you find Russia I am riding to Thailand in August and that is one of the routes I have read mixed reports and would welcome your thoughts ?
Safe riding Paul |
Hi Paul, I found it to be very good. Everything I'd heard read and seen on TV turned out to be nothing but lies. The people food and culture is excellent. Im actually considering moving there to live. It was a bit of a struggle with the language the first time however I can almost speak ... well enough to get by these days. Would pay to learn the bare basics. Usually younger kids .. about 50% of them can speak a bit of English especially in cities, the older they get the percentage goes down.
Driving style there is different but to my liking, they are not afraid to go as fast as the road will allow and come very close to you but dont worry they are good drivers, they have to be good otherwise they don't survive. |
Thanks I had read GrahamFields book and he didn't seem that keen ,so good to get other options it may go back into my route now

To Thailand from England
Mark
Good point I have committed to the trip now |
Paul15 the best part of my journey from India to Uk last year on an old enfield was Russia, the best, in contradition to the number of blogs I had read. Actually I was fearing going thro Russia due to bad experiences many have posted esp with the highway police. I met some amazing bikers there who exhibited warmth and generousity. Young riders are very rash but thats all individual. I would love to go back and ride there again. All the best. If you are coming to India give me a shout.

KKH
Hi everyone, I am travelling from England to India on a motorcycle starting late April and hoping to cross china on the KKH either before monsoon rains in late June/early July, or after rains in September. I would love to team up with people especially for the China section in order to lower costs of the guide and permit etc, but also keen to meet people at any stage throughout the journey, would anyone be crossing China at this time? If so, please get in touch as that would be ideal! Thanks v much, Emma
